Dieses Buch zeigt, wie die bewusste Kraft des „NEIN“ dir Zeit, Energie und inneren Frieden zurückgibt. Zu oft sagen wir aus Höflichkeit, Angst oder Gewohnheit Ja – das raubt uns Lebensqualität. Wer lernt, Grenzen zu setzen, kann sich auf Wesentliche wie Gesundheit, Familie, eigene Projekte konzentrieren. Der Autor erklärt, warum Nein so schwerfällt, und bietet praktische Strategien für Beruf, Familie, Kinder, Geld und Beruf sowie Methoden gegen Perfektionismus, Prokrastination, Angst und Negativität. Mit Übungen. Fazit: NEIN ist nicht egoistisch, sondern Voraussetzung für ein selbstbestimmtes, erfülltes Leben.

"In the winter of 1969, the bodies of four young women were discovered in a cemetery near the tip of Cape Cod. In a place once known as Helltown, the victims had been shot, stabbed, dismembered, and mutilated. As investigators would soon learn, the perpetrator was a young, handsome, serial killer named Tony Costa. A bizarre former taxidermist with a split personality and penchant for violence, Costa ultimately mobilized friends in the hippie community for support and retribution and captivated literary icons and rivals Kurt Vonnegut and Norman Mailer. Costa embarked on a daring cat-and-mouse game with investigators, who-as the body count kept growing-were desperate to put an end to the killing season on Cape Cod"--

An all-new harrowing maritime tale recounts the sinking and rescue efforts surrounding the HMS Bounty, the replica used in the 1962 remake of the classic Mutiny on the Bounty. On October 24, 2012, Captain Robin Walbridge made the fateful decision to sail the ship from New London, Connecticut, to St. Petersburg, Florida, despite a hurricane forecast. He assured his crew of fifteen that the ship would fare better at sea than in port and offered them the option to leave without hard feelings. No one chose to depart. Four days into the voyage, superstorm Sandy struck the Bounty directly. The vessel's pumps failed to keep up with the incoming water, and within hours, it overturned, casting the crew into the turbulent ocean filled with thirty-foot waves. The Coast Guard initiated one of its most complex rescues, deploying two Jayhawk helicopter crews to lower rescue swimmers into the raging waters repeatedly, despite the perilous conditions. Ultimately, fourteen crew members were rescued, but tragically, two did not survive. Dripping with suspense and high-stakes drama, this tale captures the brutality of nature and the indomitable human will to survive.

King Philip's War--one of America's first and costliest wars--began in 1675 as an Indian raid on several farms in Plymouth Colony, but quickly escalated into a full-scale war engulfing all of southern New England. At once an in-depth history of this pivotal war and a guide to the historical sites where the ambushes, raids, and battles took place, King Philip's War expands our understanding of American history and provides insight into the nature of colonial and ethnic wars in general. Through a careful reconstruction of events, first-person accounts, period illustrations, and maps, and by providing information on the exact locations of more than fifty battles, King Philip's War is useful as well as informative. Students of history, colonial war buffs, those interested in Native American history, and anyone who is curious about how this war affected a particular New England town, will find important insights into one of the most seminal events to shape the American mind and continent.
